Hello all,
I'm new to this forum. I am planning to install a projector in my basement. My basement is completely dark if all lights are closed so no ambient light there. I'm getting my basement redone so it's a good time to set it up properly for a home theater. Upon looking around I found out that Sony VPL-VW95ES has great reviews. It costs around 6,000 which is within my budget. Based on reviews it as great 2D but not so good 3D. I don't have good in depth knowledge on projector and while reading around, got myself a little confused. I hope you guys can help me out.
So my basement are where I want to install the projector has following measurement
Screen Wall
Width: 11 ft
Height: 8 ft
Distance from Screen to sitting area: 21 ft.
Seems like I have decent space for a nice home theatre system. I am also going to use grey paint to color walls and will also use a screen (don't know which one i should use).I watch mostly Bule-ray movies and play PS3 games in my free time. I'd love to wach 3D in action as well but reviews on VPL-95ES are not so good for 3D as it was pointed out that it needs to be brighter and also has some cross talk.
My biggest surprise is that I can't find any store I can go to see these projectors in action. I live in Nj and work in NY city. NJ,NY and PA are all accessible to me but I couldn't find any store I can go and see these camera. Even Sony store in Manhattan didn't have projector on display.
So following are my questions (thanks for reading upto this much).
Please note that I have a completely dark room with no ambient light coming in.
1 - Where can I go to see projector demos?
2 - Is there a better projector than VPL-VW95ES that gives 2D as good as this one (or better) and has great 3D quality
3 - What is the max screen I can have based on my room size
4 - Can someone please provide a link that explains in lehman term how to install projector (distance of projector from screen, should it be mounted on ceiling etc)
5 - What screen should I use to get best result
Thanks a millian in advance.
